Over the years I have purchased many Wilton baby bullets, toddler bullets and various Pow-R-Arm Jr workholders. Most of the ones I have purchased were in pretty poor condition which is why I bought them for what I considered a reasonable price. A common problem with the Pow-R-Arms is that the...

I part up to 1.5" steel and sometimes larger with my little lathe all the time. It weighs 157 lbs. I use both carbide inserts and HSS parting tools. I prefer the carbide inserts for most of the steel I work with. Pictures of my lathe and some extensions I made for a couple Hardinge centering...

After enlarging it quite a bit it definitely looks like 800 to me.

I use Boeshield T-9 and it has worked very well for me.

Very nice restoration.

You are correct. A bent handle doesn't mean you need to replace the lead screw. Without a lathe it would be difficult to make a replacement handle though. Here are some replacement handles I made for 2" and 2 1/2" Wilton bullet vises.

Some holders I made for small taps. 2 knurled aluminum holders and 2 knurled holders with depth stops. Bottom row in between the small drill chucks for my lathe.

I think I have 70 or 80 vises total, maybe more. Most of the vises are stashed away where they are difficult to get to. My regular user is a Wilton C3. I really like the Wilton combination vises.

I have about 40 of the 2" and 2 1/2" Wiltons. I think 2 of them came from sellers in California. When I first started collecting them you could get a baby bullet for $100-$200 and the prices for the 2 1/2" toddlers were even less. The prices have really gone crazy. Same for the Power Arms.

I look for ones in very rough shape and less than $500. I am just finishing 5 new spindles and handles for baby bullets and then I will make a few for the 2 1/2" toddler bullets. I am also making several new end caps for the baby and toddler bullets.

Moody Tools makes some excellent precision screwdrivers. I own most of the brands mentioned in this thread and I prefer the Moody brand over all the others.

4 baby bullets, 1 toddler bullet and 3 power arm juniors repaired, cleaned stripped and ready for paint. I'm waiting for warmer weather to paint everything.

Nice restoration.

A very small G. Boley vise. Next to some Wilton baby bullet vises for size comparison.

Japanese company named Kuken. They are well known for their pneumatic tools. These lug nut torque wrenches are no longer available as far as I know.

I keep one of these in each vehicle. This way I can torque the lug nuts correctly when reinstalling the wheel.

This is the setup I have been using for several years. It works very well.

I have a Branick 7200 that I got 15 or 20 years ago for $200. I've used it on my Toyota Camry, Toyota Tundra and BMW 530i. Very easy and safe to use.
